ton paid to the chief on his Western

land. president of a nation of kings, as
each voter regards himself a monarch.
But what has he done to call forth this
testimonial of loyalty" as some of the
papers term if? "Why he is president"
SAYS one. But are we accustomed to honor
presidents in this way? Are our presi-
dents accustomed to travel in this pomp
and state? We have honored the coun-

their lives in its defense. Washington,

and integrity.
But what has Mr.. Cleveland done to
have crowds throng about his chariot
wheels and compose marches in his honor?
He did not figure in our late war. His
party, as a party, brought it on, aud did
nothing to save the country. His admin
istratlon has turned thousands of it's Of
Tenders out of office, and even offered to
return the battle flags, the symbols of a
defeated rebellion. Great heavensl what
are the bands playing "Hail TO the Chief"
for? IF this isn't step toward the en-
pire and the kingdom, then | don't read
the signs of the times right. The fact is
we have started ON the downward course

And, by the way, who is this
'Dear lady in the purple
So gracious fair and high?"
Who is this? II seems she presses already

This sounds very much like things written
for Queen Victoria. She is simply an in
teresting young lady that married one
Grover Cleveland, of Buffalo, n. Y :, after
he was made president That is the way
she came to the chrome" Perhaps it is
natural and chivalrc to pay Der honor in
this way, but what has Cleveland done
to earn it. 1t has only been the custom
of this country to honor its heroes. Is
Mr. Cleveland one of them?

The following estimate of President
Cleveland, by Col. Atwood, of The Madi-
son Journal, will stand as very fair one
with people not carried away by prejudice:
There is no indication of high order
of ability in his appearance, nor does it
stand out ia his speeches or conversation
He is a man of moderate ability, not
more than fourth rate. 1t does seem
strange that such man should be chosen
to the head of a nation of 60,000,000 OF
people, when there are thousands and
tens of thousands of men to be found
vastly his superior, in ability and in gen.
eral requirements, that qualify person
for that exalted position. This choice
was certainly an accident that the people
will not be likely to repeat.

journey through the doubtful states before
returning from his present tour.
